Vegas Pro 14 (build #244) - Update 5

New features

10-bit rendering has been added for HEVC files along with new 10-bit render templates and the ability to create custom 10-bit render templatesNo pre-made 10-bit render templates are included.

A "News Feed" function that communicates important information (e.g. update build announcements) now appears upon application start up whenever a new message is available. This replaces the Net Notify system used in previous versions of the software

We've created a new 4K render template for MainConcept AVC/AAC file format and exposed a new 4K frame size preset to make it even easier to create 4K files

Bug fixes

Changed the location of the temporary file created during ProRes rendering so that it no longer goes to the system Temporary folder (potentially filling the user's system drive). It now goes to the same folder as the specified render location, and is instantly deleted once the render is complete

The Selection Edit Tool no longer flickers when holding Ctr. or Shift when making a selection

Shuffle events now works properly when a J cut is present

The Portals transition now works properly

Improved the handling of imported Photoshop files so that layers no longer display pale edges when viewing at Best settings in the Video Preview window

Adding a clip from the Project Media window at the project frame rate while set to Details view now correctly adjusts the clip's frame rate as expected

A menu option to rename video plug-ins while in the Plug-In Chooser has been removed since the operation is not available and choosing it caused a crash

The Trimmer window context menu now properly appears when you right-click the video portion after first having disabled the new hover scrub feature

Investigated a suspected bug that caused 4K ProRes files from a Blackmagic Designs camera to appear more exposed on Preview and Draft settings in the Video Preview than in Good and Best settings and determined that no bug exists. Some footage may appear brighter or darker at the lower-resolution settings due to the blurring of the video that naturally takes place at these low preview resolutions

Investigated a suspected bug where 4K ProRes files from a Blackmagix Designs camera has different gamma values in VEGAS Pro 14 compared to VEGAS Pro 13. This has been determined to be caused by a known flaw in the Apple QuickTime for Windows add-on software that was required to read these files in version 13. Our native reader in version 14 does not have this flaw and its output is correct

Custom window layouts that use tabs docked to the top of windows are now properly saved and persist through an application restart

The TrackGroup scripting class has been updated so that the Mute and Solo properties now return the correct values as expected

Fixed a problem that could cause a crash under certain circumstances when exporting a project as a VEGAS Pro archive

The Render Complete dialog box is now covered by floating windows within the application less frequently.

Color Curves channel setting now persist through closing and reopening the tool.

Bug fixes

This build fixes the updating bug that prevented some from updating to 178.

Vegas Pro 14 (build #178) - Update 1

Bug fixes

The build 178 is essentially a hotfix for a memory leak that could result in a crash when using multiple AVCHD and HDV files in a project. This is the only noteworthy fix contained in this update. We are continuing to work on a more robust update that addresses some long-standing issues as well as improvements to new features. That update will be available in the upcoming weeks.

Fixed a bug wherein keyboard shortcuts assigned to scripts were removed from the keyboard map when exiting.

Improved support for clips from RED ONE, EPIC, SCARLET, and WEAPON cameras.- Added Post lift, Post gamma, Post gain, and Dragon enhanced blacks controls to the R3D Decode Properties dialog.- Fixed an issue that caused certain clips to fail to load on upgraded RED WEAPON cameras with older firmware.- Fixed a crash that could occur when loading certain old RED ONE clips.- Fixed a color cast that could occur in clips shot with RED Motion Mount on the latest camera firmware.

Updated support for current AJA hardware.

Added a Resample mode drop-down list to the Video tab in the Project Properties dialog. You can use this control to set the default resample mode for your project video. To override the project resample mode, you can use the Force resample and Disable resample event switches.

Improved gamma calculations for still-image sequence renders for 32-bit floating point projects. Now levels for 32-bit floating point (video levels) and 32-bit floating point (full range) with nonlinear gamma are more consistent with 8-bit levels.

Added a Group Video and Audio Events script (Tools > Scripting) to allow you to easily group audio and video events from an imported EDL.

Increased the top-end of the range of event Velocity envelopes to 1,000% to increase the maximum possible overall velocity of video on the timeline to 40 times normal speed (in conjunction with the Playback rate event property).

New artwork and icons for buttons and other interface elements give the application an updated, more modern look and feel.

Support for reading and writing HEVC/H265 files.

Native support for reading ProRes 422 files without the need for QuickTime.

Fixed an issue that could cause incorrect output when using Track Motion when the 2D Glow check box was selected with GPU acceleration enabled.

Fixed an issue that could cause incorrect display when using FX Bypass mode in a split-screen configuration with GPU acceleration enabled.

Fixed an error that incorrectly listed the Studio RGB range in the Broadcast Colors plug-in as 16-135. The correct range -- 16-235 -- is now displayed.

Fixed drawing and scaling issues that could occur when running Vegas Pro with a HiDPI display on Windows 8/8.1 or Windows 10.
